Which ECAM unit typically displays engine information and warnings during operation?

• A. Upper ECAM
• B. Lower ECAM
• C. PFD
• D. ND

Answer: (A)

Engine information and warnings are shown on the upper ECAM. The ECAM system uses two screens: an upper display for engine data and warnings (the Engine/Warning Display) and a lower display for non‑engine system pages (like hydraulics, electrical, fuel, etc.). This arrangement keeps critical engine parameters such as N1, EGT, ITT, and related cautions immediately visible to the crew, while the lower display handles the broader systems information. The PFD and ND are separate cockpit displays and do not carry ECAM engine data.
